After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

After a moment's thought, the desire to gain an advantage prevailed.

"How could I possibly have any discernment? I just heard it from others. I heard these little lambswool leather shoes cost twenty or thirty yuan a pair, and you need overseas Chinese coupons for them? Is that true or false?"

Fan Biyun knew that her parents-in-law were wealthy, but they lived frugally and couldn't stand waste.

Spending most of a month's salary on a pair of shoes can hardly be considered extravagant.

"Hey girl," Fan Biyun called to Linlin, "come here for a second."

Jiang Chengzhou frowned and stepped in front of his sister. "Aunt, why are you calling my sister?"

Fan Biyun's tone when she called Linlin was not very polite. It was like the kind of adult you hate talking to a child, like teasing a cat or dog, with a commanding tone.

Jiang Chengzhou disliked it and was unwilling to accept it.

Fan Biyun was taken aback when the young man suddenly appeared.

Fan Biyun judged others by her own standards. Linlin is Lin Zhilan's biological daughter, but Jiang Chengzhou and Lin Zhilan have no blood relation. It's impossible for Lin Zhilan to treat the two children equally.

Her gaze shifted to Jiang Chengzhou's shoes.

As expected, unlike Linlin, Jiang Chengzhou wasn't wearing leather shoes.

Come to think of it, two pairs of shoes would cost fifty or sixty yuan.

No matter how high Su Lang's salary is, it can't keep up with Lin Zhilan's spending habits.

"Chengzhou," Fan Biyun said with a smile, "Why are you wearing shoes like that in the dead of winter? Aren't you cold?"

Jiang Chengzhou was confused and pulled his sister to Lin Zhilan's side.

"Auntie, I feel a little hot."

The two children were used to living on the island, and Lin Zhilan was worried that they wouldn't be able to adapt to the weather in the capital, so she dressed them in thick clothes.

The house is heated now, and after only a short while, both children started to sweat slightly on their foreheads.

"Su Lang, go into the wicker trunk and find the children's cotton shoes. They can wear them at home."

Su Lang naturally agreed to go.

Lin Zhilan took off another sweater for the children, but didn't let them take off their wool coats, fearing that the sudden change in temperature would make them catch a cold.

Su Lang took the shoes over.

Jiang Chengzhou helped his aunt put on her shoes.

Linlin was held by her father while Su Lang put on her shoes.

Aunt Yu offered to take the shoes they had taken off.

As soon as she slipped her hand into Jiang Chengzhou's shoe, a thought struck her: "Chengzhou, are these shoes also made of wool soles?"

"Impossible!" Fan Biyun snatched the shoe away and examined it carefully.

Jiang Chengzhou whispered in Lin Zhilan's ear, "Auntie, why do you like my shoes so much?"

The child knew he shouldn't say this to their face, but the living room was only so big.

Jiang Chengzhou lowered his voice, but it still reached everyone's ears.

Fan Biyun's face stiffened, and she threw her shoe on the ground.

Lin Zhilan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, why aren't you watching anymore?"

Fan Biyun's lips twitched. "I don't know much about shoes. I just want to see what material they are made of. If they are comfortable, I would like to buy a pair for my Mingming and Leilei."

Lin Zhilan said, "I see. Chengzhou's shoes are imported from the Soviet Union. The outer layer is rubber, and the inside is thick wool. They are also high-tops, so they are indeed warm."

"The cold starts from the feet, and it's chilly in the capital. I thought I needed some good shoes, so I went to the Overseas Chinese Store to buy some for the kids. My older brother and sister-in-law are from the capital, so they definitely know these are good quality shoes. It's definitely worth buying a pair for Mingming and Leilei."

spendthrift!

You make it sound so easy, but you'd better give me the money and the tickets!

Fan Biyun cursed inwardly.

Although both parents work, the couple is used to spending money lavishly, and Fan Biyun also has to "give thanks" to her parents' family. In reality, they don't have much savings, so how could they spend money like Lin Zhilan?

Xu Yueyun said, "These shoes are a good buy; we should spend the money where it's necessary. Zhilan, it's not easy for you and your husband to raise two children alone, and I..."

"Cough cough cough!" Su Bingcheng coughed, interrupting his wife.

He knew what Xu Yueyun was going to say.

But the eldest daughter-in-law is still here; she's supposed to be supporting the younger daughter-in-law, so why doesn't she know to keep a low profile?

Xu Yueyun frowned. "What's wrong with you again? Are you chilled somewhere?"

Su Bingcheng waved his hand, "It's nothing, I just choked a little."

"You're so old, don't you know how to take care of yourself?" Xu Yueyun continued. "Zhilan, just tell us what you need, and we'll try to get it for you."

Fan Biyun's face darkened upon hearing this.

"Mom," she began, "my third sister-in-law is right, these shoes are really nice. I'd like to buy a pair for Mingming and Leilei too, but we don't have any overseas Chinese coupons. I wonder if you and Dad have any?"

Lin Zhilan feigned surprise and said, "Mom, you also have Overseas Chinese Coupons? Linlin's birthday is coming up soon, and I promised to buy her chocolates from the Friendship Store, but I was worried about not having any Overseas Chinese Coupons."

When Linlin heard her mother mention her name, she looked over in confusion.

Su Lang suppressed a laugh and quickly took her daughter and Jiang Chengzhou away, lest Zhilan have difficulty making her move if the two children were around.

Xu Yueyun quickly replied, "I have some, I'll get it for you in a bit."

Fan Biyun's face darkened. "Mom, what about me? You can't be so biased, can you?"

"I'm biased?" Xu Yueyun sneered, then turned to Su Bingcheng and said meaningfully, "Since people are saying I'm biased to my face, I really have to settle the score today."

"Xiao Lang has been away from the capital all these years. Whatever the family has, whether it's food, drink, money, or tickets, you've brought home quite a bit."

Upon hearing this, Fan Biyun already had a vague sense that something was wrong.

Xu Yueyun continued, "Biyun, you're right. I've given birth to four children, and they're all my flesh and blood. There's no reason for me to favor one over the other."

"I won't count the tickets I gave you and the second son's family before. Let's say the money is 100 yuan a year. You've been married for exactly 12 years, and Deng Jing for 10 years. So I have to give Zhilan 1200 yuan, Chengzhou 1200 yuan, and Deng Jing 200 yuan. I can't be considered biased, can I?"

With each sentence Xu Yueyun spoke, Fan Biyun's face paled a little more.

Su Bingcheng looked at his eldest daughter-in-law and shook his head inwardly.

This is like lifting a rock only to drop it on your own foot.

Originally, the wife had to secretly help her youngest son's family, but now she can do it openly and honestly.

Fan Biyun's face was as white as a ghost.

Jiang Chengzhou is still young, how could his mother-in-law give him all 1200? Wouldn't it have to be given to Lin Zhilan?

2400 yuan!

She worked herself to the bone her whole life, and she didn't know if she could save up this much money.

"Mom, this doesn't seem right, does it?" Fan Biyun realized, "Chengzhou is still young, and besides, he's a grandson, and he doesn't even have the surname Su..."

Fan Biyun grew up in a family that favored sons over daughters, and her mind was permeated with these ideas.

They naturally assume that all the family property belongs to the boys.

For someone like her in-laws, having to think about her deceased older sister and nephew when dividing money is, in her mind, doing something foolish.

The reason she is so arrogant, and doesn't care if her in-laws get really angry after offending them, is because she gave birth to the only two sons in the Su family.
